Can you Mak guys give me a breakdown of the different Melmak varieties and why you might choose one over another? I’ve heard of Melmak TP and Melmak 118. Are there others?
I got a swab labeled just “Melmac” in a trade, not sure exactly what I have but I’m excited to give it a whirl. I’m hoping it won’t be too hard to get one of the awesome phenos you’ve all been running lately.

Melmak TP and 118 are just different clones from Melmak, I do believe. I have the 118 and was taken from a clone that weighed 118g wet. 
Here's my latest Pasty EZ Dialed Tub of Melmak:

As far as I can tell 118 and TP are just extra large versions.
The regular Melmak I ran came up first as normal looking cubes and then from the same culture got these.

Bigger than normal but nowhere near the 150g+ TP.

you gotta do something about those toes dog 
I have some Melmak and Melmac TP swabs germinated on agar and working on gettng them to LC so I can do a side by side.

Thanks for the info Aka! I'm really excited to get started with these guys, used one of my swabs and put them to soft agar a few days ago. I'm hoping I get some nice phenos without too much trouble, reading about people not getting the Melmak traits has made me a bit nervous.

Starting knotting on a speedy clone culture I was working on, some overachievers in there tell me there's some good genetic material to isolate. Fastest colonizer/fruiter I've worked with so far. Will be interesting to see how the tubs go when those other knots turn fruity.

How do you guys rate the strength of Melmac (standard?) and Melmac 118 vs reg GT or B+ on average? Is it the typical 3x potency you often hear about other PE varieties?
Also,do you think these guys would benefit from shoeboxes (with thick subs) vs 66qt monotubs given they like more restricted FAE? Thanks.

Bit grumpadillicus about this culture from clone so far. Normally most of my other cultures I've done with other vars generally grow at the same rate more or less across the substrate.
 3 days later.

It's still pinning and producing fruits just in a most uneven fashion. There's plenty of hard to see pins, with new ones everyday. Thank fuck this is sporeless although it would be preferable to have all the fruits coming at at once in case contamination began to take hold.

that looks like standard PEU to me. hopefully they fill in nicer!

Shouldn't be PEU as it is a clone from the tissue of the Melmak in my signature. From this cluster. I know Melmaks considered to be the OG PE but I thought PEU was from the SW PE cross.

Here's hoping she's a producer though, it's parental clone cluster sure was.

Birthed my bricks too late and didn't get knots on the sides, hopefully with the second flush. Lots of knots n' pins and fruits forming on the tops though.

Let the opened caps ones go longer? Not overly squishy yet.

It does not blob from what I've experienced. If you look through the thread you'll see the phenotypes are all over the place so you can obtain something fairly unique. Having said that the potency can be hit or miss from reading here too.
To me it's a strong candidate for crossing. I'm going to be crossing my culture with Averys, or attempt to anyways.
